Some years ago the author published a new version of a 5‐dimensional Projective Unified Field Theory unifying gravitation, electromagnetism and scalarism. Geometrically this theory is mainly based on following 5‐dimensional assumptions: symmetric metric tensor, Riemannian curvature, torsion, projector property of the basic quantities. A particular projection procedure leads from the 5‐dimensional field equations and conservation laws to 4‐dimensional ones. The 4‐dimensional scheme of equations is interpreted physically. Special interest is taken in the energy projector, describing an electrically charged perfect fluid. Several physical predictions and applications are presented.
